3. I would like to be the editor
of a notice, but I do not have a Unique Reference Number (URN).

We can only make the person who
booked the original notice the editor of the notice. If you did book the
original notice and have either lost, or were not given a Unique Reference
Number (URN), please get in touch with the newspaper you booked the notice with
and they will supply you with the URN for your announcement.

4. Why can't I find the notice I
am looking for?

It may be that the names have been
spelled differently - see “Search Tips” below for more information about
searching for notices.

Most notices are published online
on the same day the notice appears in the paper.

If yours is a weekly paper then
they will appear on, or close to, the day of publication.

Some customers opt-out of
publishing their notice online, in which case we will not display these
notices.

This service started in 2007, and
so only store notices going back to that time.

5. Search Tips

Type the name of the person you are
looking for into the keywords field on the home page, and press Search.

If too many notices appear, you can:

Add more words to make
the search more specific;

Select a notice type
(eg “Weddings” or “In Memoriam”), either by clicking on the notice type
icon on the home page or, by selecting the notice type in the notice type
dropdown menu;

Limit the search (eg
notices from the previous week), by selecting from the Date range dropdown
menu.

If too few notices appear:

Make sure that the
date range and notice type drop downs are set to “All Announcements” or
left blank;

If there is a chance
that the notice has appeared in a different newspaper, try choosing a
different newspaper or region by clicking “Choose other publication” at
the top of the page.
